Eastern Bank and MassDevelopment Partner to Fuel DPV's Expansion

Eastern Bank, a stalwart in commercial banking, together with MassDevelopment, has paved the way for DPV Transportation, Inc., a leading minority-owned ground transportation company based in Everett, MA, to secure a significant $11 million in financing. This strategic move is set to catalyze DPV's growth, enabling the purchase of new vehicles and bolstering working capital for its operations stretching from Greater Boston to New York.

Building on a Foundation of Innovation and Equity

DPV's journey from a small venture to a major player in ground transportation for Fortune 100 corporations underscores the power of innovation and strategic partnerships. With Eastern Bank's backing, DPV leveraged technology, such as a custom mobile app with real-time tracking, to enhance service safety and comfort. This advancement, coupled with support from the Foundation for Business Equity, illustrates DPV's commitment to evolving its business model to meet the demands of its distinguished clientele.

A Collaborative Effort for Community Growth

MassDevelopment's contribution of $6 million through the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) marks a significant commitment to supporting businesses in socially and economically disadvantaged areas. This collaborative financing effort between Eastern Bank and MassDevelopment not only underscores the importance of community-focused banking but also highlights the potential for public-private partnerships to drive economic development and job creation in Massachusetts.

Future Prospects and Community Impact

The strategic financing secured by DPV Transportation sets the stage for substantial growth and expansion, promising not just an increase in its fleet and service capabilities but also the creation of new job opportunities. As DPV continues to scale, its success story serves as a beacon for other minority-owned businesses, illustrating the impactful role of financial institutions and development agencies in fostering business growth and community development.
